Yes, I can see how Ari Gold and Rodney McKay in the same continuum could get loud. Actually, my eardrums are reverberating painfully from way the hell over here, so you have my sympathies, as well as any virtual Tylenol Extra I can spare.

As for my favourite horrible misanthrope, let me give you the TWoP (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a851/index-7.html) version of events:

""If Stacy can't trust you, you can't use her," Wilson says, looking pained to say this, either because he's annoyed that Stacy put him up to this or he just doesn't like the idea of using people. Whatever the reason, House offers Wilson a potato chip as his way of agreeing with him and thanking him for telling House this. Wilson doesn't take the chip because he's too busy thinking that House intends to win Stacy back and make her dump her sick husband. "Bros before hos, man," House says, sticking out a fist. Wilson does not respond in kind, and then House's pager goes off."

...Now I'm wondering how many eardrums would burst if House ever met Ari. The fabric of space-time might not survive intact.
